The hubris of Harry and Meghan’s Jamaican photoshoot

What is it like to be Prince Harry? Spare gave us a peerless insight into the unhappy, loveless life of a frustrated young man who was saved from a downward spiral into depression and addiction by the intervention of a saintly actress from Suits – for which we must all surely be grateful. But it increasingly seems as if everything that Harry does in the public domain is dictated by a mixture of hubris and aggression. Every photoshoot and every public statement is tinged with some underlying meaning. His latest stunt is no exception.

On Tuesday night, Harry and Meghan were photographed with Andrew Holness, the prime minister of Jamaica, at the premiere of the Bob Marley film, One Love. After their ill-fated forays into television, you might forgive the couple for eschewing association with the big screen. But no: there they are, photographed on the red carpet.

Harry looks as if he would rather be anywhere else in the world; while Meghan has the practised thousand-yard stare of the screen performer who has been through this rigmarole more times than she has had hot dinners.
